I used glue on the first quilt I ever made back in the 80's. I couldn't baste without puckers so I glued the batting down. LOL. I put a thin line of glue in every other seam. I didn't use Elmers but a washable glue sold at Hancock's Fabric and I hand quilted the thing, just stayed away from the seams. I believe in using anything that will do the job with the results you want.
